Looking forward to the race report. What is your food / water plan for the race? This is an area I have struggled in for my races and open to suggestions!

I hear that you have yourself a pretty decent pacer too, which should help in the late miles. Glad all is going well. I will actually be up your way this wekeend running GEER.

The program I follow was created for me by my coach and friend Mark Lorenzoni for the Mountain Masochist 50 Mile. I don't have it in Excel, only handwritten for me week by week. I changed it slightly for Gstone by adding more long run days on the race course and adding power line (hill) repeats after the track workouts. The track workouts and tempo runs were specific to a 50+ mile ultra, but I felt I needed more hilly intervals as well, so I ran many threshold runs on hilly roads/trails.<BR/><BR/>This program has gotten me in great shape for Gstone...but anyone who has run 100 miles will tell you that you can be trained better than anyone else in the race, but if you screw up your nutrition and pace, you are doomed. I found Andy Jones-Wilkins latest post on this topic really helpful (I have a link to his blog on the right).<BR/><BR/>As for training runs/routes near Afton the weekend of October 17... I love running the AT South from Afton to Humpback Rocks and back (about 18 miles). It is gorgeous. Let me know if you need more info.<BR/><BR/>Best of luck in your racing!<BR/>SSSophie Speidelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04898497608573807716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2767981221012873692.post-47485417567047239402008-09-23T13:33:00.000-04:002008-09-23T13:33:00.000-04:00Good Luck next week at Grindstone, I've enjoyed yo...Good Luck next week at Grindstone, I've enjoyed your training, it's been helpful to me. I currently live in Greenville SC and my wife's parents live in Afton. We are planning to come to afton the weekend of Oct 17 and was wondering if there are any scheduled training runs during that time.
